34 Days of back to back snooker begins today !

Chalk McHugh

Dave Hendon doesn't sound very enthused by the stalement tonight. I think it's great viewing.

Rothko

I thought we'd never see that red being potted.

Chalk McHugh

Just like for Vafei earlier i feel Walden will be sick to lose that frame and to only be level at the interval. Vafei never really recovered. Lets see can Walden put it behind him and at least make a close fight of it.

Phil Studd. Dave is a class apart from him!

Off all the commentators i find Studd and Hendon similiar voices. Cheers for clarifying it anyway.

Chalk McHugh

Nicely cleared by Walden who has come out after the interval and opened up a two frame lead. Mark Williams looks a little subdued.

If we saw them more often; it might be easier to put a name to their voice/s.. Very confusing indeed

Chalk McHugh

Hopefully this is the last time we'll see Williams with that grubby beard. Not looking good for him here. Hard to see him win four on the spin.

zuutroy

Just listen to the Snooker Scene podcast and you'll tell the difference quick enough!

Chalk McHugh

Bit of a liberty taken there by Walden with that long odds plant. A low percentage shot that looks like losing him the frame.

Chalk McHugh

The Amazing Bogdan would be proved of that Williams special!

DelBoy Trotter

Excellent break from Williams to win that frame, he seems to have found some rhythm

Chalk McHugh

Very careless from Williams in not getting that simple snooker behind the yellow. Gave Walden a little bit of breathing space.

Rothko

Seems like we'll have another stalemate here.

Chalk McHugh

Don't remember Walden chewing gum when playing before. Or any other player. He's chewing like mad and it's a little off putting.

Chalk McHugh

Decider! It's all gone wrong for Walden since that silly plant when 5-2 ahead. Will the snooker gods come back to haunt him?

DelBoy Trotter

You’d have to have Williams as a favourite for this decider

Joe_ Public

Very impressed with this Pang Junxu here, top notch break to beat maguire in a decider. Loads of bottle and already beaten hawkins and allen this season. Another decent scalp to add to the list.

Rothko

Well done to Pang too. It's good to see another young player take a huge scalp.

Chalk McHugh

Dont agree with Jie Johnson about Walden going for that red on the cushion. It wasn't easy pot as he said and certainly wasn't easy to get on the black. Imo he was right to refuse it.

Rothko

Unlucky for Mark there when the white hit off the jaw of the middle pocket.

Yeah, I agree. I think he made the right call.

DelBoy Trotter

It’s Waldons to lose from here

Chalk McHugh

Williams didn't get a sniff of a chance in the decider. Big win for Walden but i wouldn't give him much of a chance against Judd on that form.

Beard hindered Williams cue action?

Glenman

I see the guy that beat Doherty has made it to the last 16. He must be a decent player.

Certainly catching the eye on his last few performances. This is his second go on the tour and maybe starting to fulfil his potential. Hard to know, interesting anyway. Thought ken had his measure in that match at 4-2, it was quite cagey and tactical up to that point, but then Lu took command and won it convincingly.

Joe_ Public

Tough match for robertson here. McGill looking for masters qualification so has huge motivation here. Looking strong early anyway.

Rothko

Very good match so far

Rothko

McGill seems to have a habit of leaving those reds right on the pocket.
